How to use swim on the nodejs

[burakakca]

I didn't find nodejs example on the repo. Should I use the @swim/client package like in the ui examples?

I will use UI for monitoring but I need to set data from nodejs

@burakakca Thanks for your question.
Yes you can use the @swim/client in nodejs.

However, it is important to understand that the @swim/client is primarily meant to connect to Web Agents written using SwimOS. The basic steps involved in building a SwimOS application involve:

1. Server-Side application: This is a java application written using the SwimOS server librarties. A server-side SwimOS application will involve creating Web Agents
2. Client-Side application: Using the swim client libraries to stream data from the Web Agents defined in the server-side application that was created in Step1. The swim client libraries are available in js, java, python and rust. This can be used to build client-side applications including Web UIs. The client side application is optional for some use-cases since the server-side application may be self contained for those use-cases.

Please refer to the fundamentals of SwimOS that can be found here.
